It has hands and shows the time! 



See that little house in the rear, also

 my visit there, to obtain from the head 

 gardener, the creator of this clock, a 

 supply of seed and stock plants of those 

 beautiful varieties of begonias to raise 

 a sufficient crop of about 50,000 young 

 plants in 2*^, 3 and 4-inch pots for you
